Det er med stor sorg Stortinget har mottatt budskapet om at Hans Majestet Kong Harald V er gått bort.

Han samlet nasjonen, og nå er nasjonen samlet i sorg.

Vår dypeste medfølelse går til familien, som har mistet en ektemann, far, bror, svigerfar og bestefar. Vi og hele Norge sørger med dere.

Vi har mistet en varm, samlende og folkekjær konge. Han har betydd mye for Norge gjennom så mange år. Det blir et stort savn for hele folket.

Kjære kong Harald. Vi er så glad i deg. Savnet blir stort. Du levde etter valgspråket: Alt for Norge. Men du var også Norge.

Alle vi som hadde gleden av å møte deg, så ditt oppriktige engasjement for folket. Du brydde deg om de du møtte.

Kjære alle sammen,
monarkiet har tjent Norge. Det handler om trygghet og kontinuitet. Det handler om identitet og at det er et felleskap vi kan samles rundt uansett bakgrunn.

I dag har jeg også snakket med Norges nye Konge. Hans Majestet Kong Haakon VIII må nå gjøre kongsgjerningen til sin. Vår nye Konge skal vite at Stortinget og hele nasjonen står sammen med deg.

[Erling Haaland @Erling]

Hvil i fred, Kong Harald. 🇳🇴

Chiaka!! Deilig å se Rosenborg spille nå, for en forvandling!

Svensson lever farlig her. Blir han taklet en gang til så kommer det andre gule.

[Roger Bremnes @PolRoger10]

Hei Rosenborg. Vi trenger keeper.

RBK hadde 18 avslutninger på mål på årets sju første kamper. Nå har de 21 på to og en halv kamp under Freyr.

Tuchel’s tactics after going 1-0 up against Argentina were pulling straight up haram ball.

He’s already got Konsa in after subbing off Gordon, then adds two more defenders in O’Reilly and Burn, seven defenders on the pitch. Just to sit back and try to protect a lead.

And what happens? They defend the box and leave Messi with acres of space and time to freely playmake: crosses, cutting in, delivering cutbacks, completely unchallenged.

Argentina level through Fernández who isn’t closed down either, has all the time and space in the world to pull off a shot, and scores.

Argentina score again from the exact same story = Messi space and time to dictate.

Then with 9 minutes added on he suddenly remembers “oh okay, I need wingers” and subs on Rashford and Toney with 5 minutes remaining.

Single-handedly knocked England out, this man.

This is a quite good analysis, and should also illustrate the issue with VAR.

The ref and VAR can now pick and choose exactly what team to win.

The financial incentives FIFA has to send through the bigger nations is too big.

Infantino out. Something has to be done.

Many foreigners are coming down hard on Alexander Sørloth, but very few Norwegians. We know he’s a truly great guy, and a selfless player. He is looking and searching for the right angle for the pass, gets a bad touch and doesn’t find it. John Stones does a superb job.

Torpenhow Hill, England

When the Saxons arrived and asked the locals what that hill was called, the Welsh replied, “Pen,” which simply means hill in Welsh.

The Saxons, apparently not spotting they’d already been given the full answer, added their own word for hill: tor. So it became Torpen - literally Hill Hill.

A few centuries later, the Norse turned up and repeated the exercise, adding haugr, their word for hill. Now it was effectively Torpenhaugr - Hill Hill Hill.

Then the English arrived, looked at the whole thing, shrugged, and added “Hill” on the end for good measure.

Thus we ended up with Torpenhow Hill:
Hill Hill Hill Hill.

It’s comforting to know that for over a thousand years, successive generations have been independently deciding that the previous lot hadn’t made it quite clear enough that it was, in fact, a hill.

Language is magnificent.
Humans… less so.🤷🏻‍♂️🤣
